3年前範登伯格(Jordan van den
Berg)還是位沒沒無聞的律師,剛開TikTok帳號拍片嘲諷房東,如今28歲的他儼然租屋族救世主,已成澳洲知名度最響叮噹的維權人士。

範登伯格化名purplepingers帳號,拍片揭露澳洲房市危機,凸顯令人咋舌的租屋環境、房東素行不良以及政府無作為。他的手法宛如私刑者,不但架設網站曝光房東惡行,還協助民眾住進空屋,擄獲無數粉絲,有人甚至封他為租屋族的“羅賓漢”。
專家坦言澳洲房市太離譜,房價有如天文數字,空屋供不應求,公共住宅數量永遠追不上。租金飆至新高的同時,空屋數也創新低,住不起的民眾被迫將就昂貴、擁擠的危樓,有些人甚至無家可歸。
範登伯格於是成立“爛租屋”(Shit
Rentals)網站,超過3000民眾匿名投稿,張貼惡劣的租房環境照片,例如電線外露、牆壁崩壞、地板裂開、髒汙發黴等。
許多人也分享自身血淚故事,包括房東擅自闖入家中、房東種族歧視,以及要求修繕就被惡房東趕走、之後還立刻漲租再上網招租。
範登伯格說房東與房客的資訊不對稱太嚴重,於是本月他把矛頭轉向閒置空屋,在粉絲幫忙下,範登伯格收集全國空屋地址,鼓勵民眾住進去。基於安全理由,部分地址他隻私下傳給民眾,不過有些地址他大剌剌公開在網站上,獲得空前迴響,如今空屋名單甚至擴大到英國、美國及瑞士等國。
他說這能抑製不受控的租金。根據澳洲普查,全國約有100萬棟閒置空屋,且大多位於租金太貴迫使許多人露宿街頭的地區。
澳洲擅自佔屋合法,不過非法闖入或經要求後仍不離開仍屬違法。範德伯格的做法也招致批評,他說自己常被罵甚至接獲人身威脅,業界人士呼籲警方將他逮捕起訴。
